I believe in simplicity. Many philosophers make good arguments in
its favor.
I love thunderstorms. I've been much more sensible and calm
lately.
I tend to get caught up in things and forget where I am, especially
when it's conversation.

Right now I'm in a relationship with HKara and it is fabulous. We're interested in
entering a poly relationship with a third person, but we're not in
any hurry. We're pretty open-ended as to a man or woman, but we're
always looking for friends or interesting people.

I regularly feel an alarming sense of spiritual fulfillment. I am
not searching for my place in the world or my soul's purpose since
they both seem well defined.

I've written some poetry. I've been told it's good.

I really, really enjoy talking at length about film, television and
stage: composition, acting, lighting, cultural significance,
trivia, everything that could possibly be interesting about them. I
have not measured how good I am at this objectively or anything but
I'm putting it here.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The Tao of Pooh. Around the World in
80 Days (I got to play Fogg in a stage show of it! Childhood dream
come true.) Gormenghast. Pratchett. Historical nonfiction. Sci-fi
pulps, especially 40k. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Watchmen, both the novel and film. Harry Potter, especially the
Stephen Fry-narrated audiobooks. A Song of Ice and Fire is too damn
good. If you're watching the show and skipping the books you're
missing way, way out. I'm looking to expand my sci-fi and fantasy
reading now that ASoIaF has me turned on to reading again for the
first time in a few years. Send me your faves.

Jesus Christ Superstar. The Pillowman. War Horse. Gilbert &
Sullivan. Reefer Madness. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. The
Producers. I got to be in a production of The Motherfucker With the
Hat and it was fun as hell.

The Total War series. Metal Gear Solid 3. Dawn of War. Arcanum: Of
Steamworks and Magic Obscura. Little Inferno was surprisingly good,
and I say that in the same sense of surprise as when your opiate
hasn't been cut as much as you expected. Papers Please. Prison
Architect. Der Pokemans. Telltale's The Walking Dead is one of the
best storytelling experiences I have been lucky enough to enjoy.
Crusader Kings.

Wilco. Daft Punk. Hanggai. Nujabes. Snoop Lion. Gorillaz. Frank
Zappa. RHCP. The Decemberists. Wu-Tang Clan. Neil Young. Mahler.
Kanye (but like us all, when I see him in the news I usually go
'Kanye, what are you *doing*?'). Radiohead. Bastille.
Perterburator. Film scores.

Napoleon Dynamite. Apocalypse Now. Four Lions. Eternal Sunshine of
the Spotless Mind. American Psycho. No Country For Old Men. Hero.
Curse of the Golden Flower. Anything ripe for a good mocking. Baz
Luhrmann. Blade Runner. Alien. Cowboy Bebop & Samurai Champloo.
Seven Samurai. Breaking Bad. Downton Abbey. Augenblick Studios.
Sealab 2021. Space Ghost. The Daily Show (religiously). South Park.
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Jean de Florette
and Manon des Sources. David Lynch.

My PC, I built this with my own two hands and you will pry it from
them when they're cold and dead.
Lunch. It's the best meal of the day.
Laughter. It's a human necessity.
An audition to go to, a show to be in, something to do creatively.
I slide into depression when this isn't the case.
Video games. It is difficult to find a more efficient fun delivery
system.
Just getting myself a little something every now and then. A decent
meal, replacing something that's needed it, small expenditures to
take advantage of my participation in the cash economy and steadily
reduce the entropy in my life.

I'm a big softie at heart. I tend to tear up at happy endings when
I see movies and plays.

In this same vein I'm also a shameless cat person. My baby boys are
my babies, there are two of them.
Their destructive, selfish, capricious habits are good practice for
having kids somewhere down the line, I should imagine.

The honest truth is I'm way more open when asked directly about
something so most of the privater stuff I've admitted on this site
is buried in my answer explanations.
